2.24 Fixed gif/anim gif support so that you can't have animated gif support without
having gif support.
2.23 Added patch from Slaven Rezic which makes it possible to call GD constants
in an OO way (without generating warnings), and removes #! from the
top of autogenerated GD.pm
Rewrote tests 11 and 12 - if they continue to randomly fail on various
platforms, they will be removed.

exclusively with PNG, JPEG or GIF support.
